And like his best work to date, these poems create new experiences with language owed to Jackson's willingness to once again seek a rhythmic sound that expresses the unique realities of the twenty-first century with humor and understanding. Whether set in Nairobi, Madrid, or Greece, the poems are sensuously evocative and unapologetically with-it, in their effort to build community across borders of language and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Urban Renewal, \"The Dadaab Suite\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have come to Dadaab like an actor\u003cbr\u003e on a press release, unprepared for the drained faces\u003cbr\u003e of famine-fleeing refugees, my craft's glamour\u003cbr\u003e dimmed by hundreds of infant graves, children\u003cbr\u003e whose lolling heads' final drop landed on their mothers'\u003cbr\u003e backs like soft stones.
